    Even if it happened in the past doesn't make it likely to happen again. It depends on the situation every year. Depending on the course, a drop of 35 points is possible but usually very unlikely. 5-10 points is usually the most a course will drop.

    It's more likely to happen in Level 6/7 courses rather than Level 8 where students get an offer of a Level 8 and a Level 7 and take the L8 offer leaving a lot of empty spaces in the L6-7 courses so the points take a nose dive in the second round. Very unusual for it to happen in L8 courses though.

    They can if a lot of places become available. Round Two points are out since yesterday so you should be able to check them.
